Parameterized model checking refers to any method that extends traditional, finite-state model checking to handle systems arbitrary number of processes. One popular approach to thi...
We review a number of formal verification techniques supported by STeP, the Stanford Temporal Prover, describing how the tool can be used to verify properties of several versions o...
We consider the class of finite-state programs executed by an unbounded number of replicated threads communicating via shared variables. The thread-state reachability problem for t...
Predicate abstraction has been proved effective for verifying several infinite-state systems. In predicate abstraction, an abstract system is automatinstructed given a set of predi...
